what I'm most thankful for...
Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and I have been reading the posts people have been putting on facebook of what they are thankful for. What a wonderful thing to do, think of something you are thankful for each day. This is something that we should all do. I have been doing this each day. I haven't been posting them on facebook, but I still have been doing the practice.
There seems to be a recurring theme of mine each day. I seem to be thankful for love in my life.
Love is something that I have always known in my life.
Growing up in the household that I did, love was never something that I questioned or thought I was lacking of. My parents showed me love from the first moment I remember to this very day. Their actions always said one thing to my brother and me - we love you! I'm so thankful that I grew up in a house that was full of hugs and I love you's! I watch movies and hear songs that people write where they go their entire lives without saying I love you to their parents. I just don't know how this could be possible. Every time I talk to my parents, we always say I love you. This is something I am very thankful for.
My brother and I have also always loved each other. Sure, we bickered and argued when we were little bitty kids, but as we got older - we discovered we were the best of friends. We have so much in common, and can spend tons of time together and never get on each others' nerves. When something terrible or great happens, he is the person I want to talk to about it. We even speak our own "movie language". I am very thankful for the love I share with my brother.
I have had a loving relationship with The Lord since I was about ten years old. My parents always took us to church and Sunday School. I don't remember many Sundays where we didn't go to church. This life in church has provided a foundation of love in me that I can't even begin to explain its wonder. Even though I was saved by the grace of God many years ago, I still feel its warmth and strength every day of my life. I'm thankful that Jesus died for my sins, and that I am a sinner saved by his grace - and feel the love of the Lord every day of my life.
Over the years, I have made some pretty amazing friends. And I am lucky enough to say that my closest friends and I have a relationship where we express the love of our friendship to each other. There have been times in my life where the love of my friends got me through another night. I'm thankful that I have such wonderful friends that I know I could call at any hour of the night if needed.
My family is growing. In the past year it has expanded by one sister in law, and two nephews. The entire family is thankful for these additions. What we are most thankful for - is the love that we all share together. We instantly loved each other.
Seven months ago I met this guy. Even before we began "talking" or dating, I knew there was something unique and special about this guy. I was intrigued from the very beginning. Even though I may not have been the easiest person to date in the very beginning, I am thankful to say, this guy knew exactly what to say and do to keep me on my toes. There was never a date that I didn't go home smiling. We could talk about movies and theories we had and found out they were very similar. He laughed at things I found funny and worried others might think weird. I never could look at him and not smile. He made me laugh so much. I turned around twice and realized we had not only become best friends, but that I loved him more dearly than I had loved any guy. Here we are, seven months later, and I am still smiling and experiencing love yet again in my life. This is a kind of love I have never experienced before. I'm so very thankful for Dexter's love.
So as this month brings on thoughts of thankfulness to us all, I am reminded that I am most thankful for the love in my life. There are many forms of love present in my life, and I am thankful for it all. No. I am blessed by it all. I thank The Lord for blessing me with this life and the love in it. Have a blessed Thanksgiving everyone!
